On page 388 of the book ‘Jannat mayn Lay Jaanay Walay A’maal’ published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, it is narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Zar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: O Abu Zar! If you learn one Ayah from the Book of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the morning, it is better for you than offering 100 Rak’aat Nafl, and if you learn one chapter from Islamic knowledge in the morning, whether you act upon it or not, it is better for you than offering 1000 Rak’aat Nawafil.’
